Temporary Fix for DNS Issues

MODEDIT: Please stop reporting this thread as a violation. An admin already blessed this fix as “unofficial”. As long as users back up their HOSTS file, there shouldn’t be an issue. There is no deleting being put forth in the fix either.

This is temporary solution

add this strings to your hosts fille

this is at ‘C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\etc\’ in windows

FWIW, we (Kongregate) are not officially condoning this fix, nor have we verified the data as accurate. The DNS issues should be solved now, but may take some time to fully propagate. Change your hosts file at your own risk.

just to share what i did… i started with Yras’ hosts solution, it mostly worked, i managed to get in game… but i got annoyed by how the top bar didn’t load (along with the brown border) so i tried Green’s flushdns on top of it and… clicked refresh.

boom, stuck on a black screen now lol!

i think it’s not wise to merge the two solutions… somewhere it messes up i think? hope a techie could comment.

p.s.: someone mentioned clearing cache, so i did THAT as well now :P triple solution.

glad i didnt log out last night im able to play just fine. However, I’m just curious is this being done by someone deliberately? mayb to gain more event seeds? just seems to happen when ppl are rdy to harvest the event seed after overnight planting.
Altho I’m not complaining as i got like 100 seeds free past 2 days =)

THis Fix Does work If you Do not know how to replace your Hosts File Use this guide from Microsoft. It tells you How to Reset your Hosts File. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/972034 My suggestion is to Refresh the hosts file First.
